5-ways the republicans have destroyed America

Step 1: Release media from legal obligation to behave responsibly -> wedge politics divide country, cripple civil discourse
Step 2: Convince people that government employees are bad -> more corporate welfare, fewer good jobs
Step 3: Convince people that unions are evil -> still fewer good jobs
Step 4: Convince people that teachers are lazy, stupid, no good terrorists -> fewer people looking for good jobs
Step 5: Declare corporations to be people and money to be speech -> sham elections

Troll bait, but I'll bite.

Step 1: You mean like the liberal media with Trayvon Martin, editing the 911 video to make Zimmerman sound racist, making it out to be a white VS black race killing even though Zimmerman is half-Peruvian with black family members, and sparking unrest among the black community? Just recently it was reported that a 78 yer old man was beaten by a group of black teens shouting, "This is for Trayvon." Does the liberal get a free pass from democrats when it twists the truth in a way that incites violence?

Step 2: You conveniently ignore how the democratic congress and Obama pushed through record corporate subsidization to banks and the automobile industry. The environmental policies were nothing more than billions given to companies like Solyndra to keep them afloat, even though they went under anyway.

Step 3: Unions convince people that unions are evil. When you drive up the value of labor, prices go through the roof. Consumers begin looking for cheaper goods elsewhere, like China. Companies, in order to stay in business, go overseas where the labor is cheap to remain competitive.

Step 4: That is a lie, no one ever called them terrorists... well except for Professor Ayers, ivy league tenured faculty member who used to be a member of the Weather Underground, responsible for several domestic bombings in the late 60s-early 70s. I don't know what you're talking about in regards to fewer people looking for jobs. There are on average 20 qualified applicants for every job opening out there right now. Sounds more like fewer jobs than there are people looking for them.

Step 5: Because democrats have never taken money from corporate special interest groups.

I'm sorry, do you have any steps that both parties haven't been doing for a long time?

Don't forget starting two wars and handing out tax cuts at the same time. Every economist in the nation said that would bankrupt us. They were right. We are massively in debt due to Repubs.

If you would like to see more of the OP's copy and paste antics, just go to the Livingston forum and check out the hundreds of Republican bashing threads he has started. Poor guy has nothing better to do!

We are in debt all due to that? It had nothing to do with the record spending and doubling of the debt load by Odumbo??? How long exactly did it take you to get your head that far up your arse?

Both parties are to blame for the debt. Both sides have ruined this country. They got all of you where they want you. They want the american people to pick a side and be a republican or a democrat and you morons fall for it. Politicians want every subject to be about the liberal side or the conservative side. This way the people dont think on their own or have their own opinions. Not every issue or problem should be solved by liberal thinking or conservative thinking. Problems should be solved by whats right and whats wrong. Until people start thinking for theirselves and having their own ideas, all politicians will continue to ruin this country. As long as there is only two views (republican view and the democrat view) to every problem America will never get out of this mess. We need indepedent thinkers and politicians in this country, not just conservitave or democratic views. As long as there is only two views there will never be compromise. Without compromise America will stay in a mess.

I think that you are all crazy. Nixon opened the door to permanent normal trade relation status with China and the rest of southeast asia that has done more to de-industrialize America than anything else, but the closest thing to a second that has occured to that has been NAFTA which was signed into law by Clinton himself. Republicans haven't destroyed America and Democrats haven't either, any sane human being who looked at America's devolution over the last 50 years would say that Democrats and Republians have destroyed America, yet by some suicidal urge of the American voting electorate, we have helped them further the process. In the words of the Bard, "a plague on both your houses!" I stopped voting on this dumbass "Democratic/Republican " ticket a LONG time ago. If half you people would wise up and do the same, the country would get back on track, but you would rather see your opportunity perish and think you're "winning" somehow than actually try to course-correct. Thanks for dragging all us normal people down to damnation with you, though. At least you get some recognition when it's due.

We have too many such as Bob Corker who went to Haiti to help rebuild, come on folks we have poor people here n our area who barely have a house. 1 lady is living n half a trailer since the flood in May 2010. I have seen this with my own eyes..she is an elderly who has no choice. All our money going over seas needs to stay here and be put to use.

$1.89 when Bush left. LOL For Christ sake man, he literally wrecked the world economy. Next time add that little fact when mentioning gas prices. Also, not sure where you get your gas but I paid less than $3.00 today.
More people on foodstamps? The man(Bush) was losing 700,000 jobs a frickin month when he left. He left the economy in shambles. And you're blaming Obama for this. Of course there are more people on foodstamps. Because of the imploded economy he left. It's obvious you Fox news watchers didn't get the real news when this was happening. Surprise. Disingenuous morons.

Facts are Bush had a democratic congress and the actions of Clinton and Carter eventually wrecked the economy with the affordable housing act. Pesky facts. Smart people and not lib sheep know who to blame. We don't go around blaming others years later though..........we look for solutions to fix it. Obama is a communist and Marxist. Open your eyes and mind and you will see what is so clear to normal people.

Daily Horoscope for May 20

Aries

As the Sun cruises into chatty Gemini, you are likely to get involved in a spirited discussion in which you can explain your beliefs and values to other people. Not only will this help you to clarify what you think, it will also give others a useful insight into what really matters to you. On a more mundane note, this is a good day to return something faulty to a shop because you'll be able to put your case well.
